Biology

Physiology

Hariyama are very large, hulking and mostly grayish-colored Pokémon that are modeled after sumo wrestlers. Their most notable feature, which they use extensively in battle, is their extremely large orange hands with three fingers. On their heads, they have a pointed, triangular crest, and the V-shaped pattern of dark blue that runs across the tops of their eyes sports a long blue "ponytail" in the back. On the sides of Hariyama's head are its round, stubby ears with visible holes in them. They have a semicircular pattern of orange coloration, shaped somewhat like a rising sun, on their abdomen. Hariyama have yellow skirt-like extensions on their waists and large, thick, dark blue legs with orange, two-toed feet. While Hariyama's body appears to be mostly fat, it is actually mostly muscle.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Like many Fighting-type Pokémon, Hariyama is extremely physically strong. Hariyama's Arm Thrust could easily snap a telephone pole in two or send a 10-ton truck flying. Hariyama is able to learn the move Brine, despite its Fighting type: possibly a reference to how sumo wrestlers purify the ring with salt before the match.

Behavior

Hariyama are competitive Pokémon that love to match their strengths against other big-bodied Pokémon. Hariyama is known to stand on train tracks and stop trains using Arm Thrust. Hariyama also stomps on the ground to build power.
